The mosh pits at Roo are definitely not the same as at a regular show. They're a lot smaller and not nearly as violent. I regrettably missed Kylesa, but there was a small pit at Opeth. And there was also this guy who was rolling, thrashing and burying himself in the sand for most of the show.

hahaha i remember that guy, best moves I've ever seen in a pit... i really wish the whole mosh pit thing would die out.

Everyone should have a special crush on Neil. Have you ever met him? He's shorter than I imagined.

Nope not met him, but was front row in a small show in Nashville and he didn't look very tall. I'm ok with that

If you ever do want to, I suggest hanging out a bit after one of their shows. They tend to hang out some, shake hands, talk and such. On the Elephant Riders tour, a few friends and I talked to everyone but him as he immediately ran across the street to call his now-wife. It was so surreal to stand there and listen to them make fun of him for being whipped.

Edit: Since we're on the subject, Jamey Josta (sp?) from Hatebreed is amazingly short.

I really think I would be to star struck to speak to him...... I was like that when I met John and Allen from Baroness in catering and they are not even big stars, but I LOVE them - I sat there in silence

I met them after the Bakerton Group played at Roo in '10. They were really nice as well.
